What tools do you use to manage your productivity?

I’ve been using the classic notebook to-do list, but I’m curious to hear what awesome tools are out there that I am not aware of. I’m always looking to improve my personal workflow to stay focused. Thanks!

I am building one that as a focus on the Tasks for Today, and while I am building it I am actively using it to plan my work day.

The plan is to integrate it with Gitlab, Github, Jira, etc., so that I can have a unified view of everything I want to get done today. It will have a tab for Professional and Personal life. It will support priorities, notes, comments, topics, groups, backlog, permalinks, realtime updates, etc.

If you are wondering what the copy button is for:

I can now select what I want to copy to the clipboard in html format, thus when I past it in my Gmails it will have the same look, but if I paste it in my editor I get only the text.

I am thinking in adding the Promodoro technique to my Tasks Todo project.

Do more and have fun with time management

Over 2 million people have already used the Pomodoro Technique to transform their lives, making them more productive, more focused and even smarter.

For many people, time is an enemy. We race against the clock to finish assignments and meet deadlines. The Pomodoro Technique teaches you to work with time, instead of struggling against it. A revolutionary time management system, it is at once deceptively simple to learn and life-changing to use.

Good old self-guilt-tripping and depression have always done the trick! :laughing:

(But I started writing stuff down in a paper notebook lately. It helps me keep track of my “wins” and it does help with motivation and self-esteem for sure.)
